Thats not a smilar style, it's taking without permission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Jeppoz Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 I hope some1 close this thread before it turns into a flaming one. That guy made a mistake cause his try to reproduce something similiar to that sig ended up into something 2 similar. That sig has been removed...he understood the problem and the punishment i suppose so he'll be more careful. He didn't kill any1 btw...Still no need to argue one another for such a silly thing.... I think it's time to lock this one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El_Eazy Posted July 19, 2004 Author Share Posted July 19, 2004 I've asked a mod to lock this, before I get myself banned.

Thats not a smilar style, it's taking without permission. geez ur doin my head in, it isnt a rip! i went and looked up copyright laws ad here it is without those long brainy people words ''directly stealing an image whichis not ur property and claiming it is ur work, is copyright, however if work is based on a certain artist it is legal, he also does not have to have any permision from the original artist.'' think about it, when ur art school and u study an artist and u have to draw a picture in his style, it isnt copyright, unless u obviously put the artsists name on it, i personally beieve he shouldgive the guy credit for inspiration, but he dosnt have to do so, in which cse its his decision :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molishist Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 El Eazy, look at Merc's zoomed pic carefully. NOTHING LOOKS THE SAME. Not even the helmet. He just happens to be in the same position as your sig. What you really need to do is PM a mod, tell him/her it was a mistake and give the guy his sig back!

People repect you for making good sigs etc... The person who copied my sig to his sig does not deserve repect. Maybe if he asked me and Lan for permission I would of been more asertive, but what really pised me off is that he didn't give me any indication on what he was going to do. He just randomly did it. I wanted a unique sig for myself, and I got it, I do not repect people coming along and taking parts from it and using it for themselves. Please think of it from my point of view, I doubt you'd like it if you paid 300k for a sig then find out someone is using simular parts from your sig for there own sig.

Nothing looks the same, lmao you complete idiot. ITS LOOKS VIRTUALLY SIMLAR. Omg, I really can't believe you said that. So your telling me, that he just happend to make a new sig that looks completely the same as mine :lol: I really, really, really think not. What are the odds of that happending ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah...it's pretty obvious that sig was directly inspired by the other one. And with this i mean something like *makes some pixels*..*checks original* *am i doing good ? yes* over and over. I personaly don't think that has been done with bad intentions. As i said above that guys simply made a mistake. That doesn't make him a thief or some1 to ban. Still that sig can't be used. We'r realy going round and round in circles now...just close this please mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
